Remember those "Choose Your Own Adventure" books that allowed readers to determine the plot's outcome? 38 Studios has taken a page from those books (pun intended!) for its new Reckoning Interactive Story series, which kicked off today on Facebook.

As Community Manager Jess "Muse" Folsom explains on the Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning forums, the team will post a screenshot and a portion of the story every Thursday on the game's Facebook page. Readers will then be asked to vote in a poll that affects next week's entry. If you're not a Facebook user, you'll still be able to read the ongoing story on the official forums.

The first entry in the series introduces us to the story's protagonist, and it's up to readers to choose the character's gender and race. Cast your vote now and help move the series forward next week!

Senior Staff Writer Christopher "Pwyff" Tom recently attended a Reckoning press event at Big Huge Games' studio in Baltimore. Check out his hands-on impressions and his interview with Art Director Tim Coman.
